Re: 1) Multi- racial hostel (The Sun headline 29/09/2009)
2) RM 100 Million allocation for Tamil schools, under the first and second economic stimulas packages. (But zero funds flowed down to the ground).
(The Star 29/09/2009 at page N2)
3) 5.1% intake of Indians in public sector (The Star 29/09/2009 at page 12). (Our finding is only 1%).
4) Tear down walls of Disunity (NST 31/08/2009 headlines). (But not in practice).
We refer to the aforesaid headlines.
We regret to note however that this is merely another form of ‘paper politics’ by the UMNO controlled Malaysian government. First your goodself on Malaysian’s 52nd Independence day said ‘Tear down walls of Disunity (NST 31/08/2009 headlines). And today your goodself are saying ‘Multi- racial hostel’ (The Sun headlines 29/09/2009).
But there are hundreds of fully residential MRSM and other fully residential secondary schools which have been excluded to the non Malay Muslims in Najib Razak’s One Malaysia.
As the famous words of the late President Ronald Reagan (to Russian President) ‘ Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall (Berlin wall). With these words the cold war ended and made this world a better place for all of us.
Similarly Mr. Prime Minister we now say ‘Najib, tear down walls of disunity, open up all fully residential schools also to also all Chinese and Indian Malaysians’ on a needs basis as opposed to racial and religions basis.
And not merely ‘puppet shadow’ play’ wayang kulit’ miserable one multi racial headlines catching hostel, and that too as usual which is ‘to be’ built next year and which as usual which may not actually take off like most other headlines catching such announcements.
We urge your goodself to do so as this would be the best opportunity to save Malaysia where pupils get to foster genuine multi-racialism, national unity, and co- existence.
A classical example is the newsreport in The Star 29/09/2009 at page N2 ‘Najib said the construction of new Tamil schools and buildings was on hold as the RM 100 Million allocation in the first and second economic stimulas packages was in adequate due to rising cost of building materials’. This is a classical example and the tip of the iceberg of the ‘paper politics’ played by UMNO. Why could not this RM 100 Million have been used for at least some of the said most deserving and cow shed looking Tamil schools first to kick to start the supposed Cabinet committee ‘noble initiatives’. We cannot help but to think that this cabinet committee on the usual Indians headed by your goodself lacks sincerely if not seriousness.
Mr. Prime Minister ‘Tear down the walls of disunity’ we don’t want the said RM 100 Million allocation and scores of other such ‘paper allocations’ which hardly ever flows down to the ‘Indian ground’. We want to be part of the national mainstream education policy and the national mainstream development of Malaysia. We want a wholesome solution to the Indian problem and not merely piecemeal and ‘peanuts’ solution using the Indian ‘mandore’ politicians.
On the intake of Indians at 5.1% in the public sector that was announced by your goodself. Malaysians today do not see it when they go to or deal with the various public services departments nationwide and will only believe the same not to be ‘ paper politics’ when the full list of the intake is made public and transparent in the Public Services Department’s official website IF the public service does not make it public who else will? Our estimate is only 1% of the civil service is made available to Indians. Malaysian Indian civil servants have been reduced from about 50% in the late 1960s to a mere 1% in 2008 (Refer Dr. Mahathir’s book The Malay Dilema page 78 and NST 13th June 2008, Page 14). In 2007 only (1%) of the 400 positions in the Inland Revenue Department were given to the Indians (NST 13th June 2008, Page 4) (Refer Malaysian Indian Minority & Human Rights Violations Annual Report 2008 to Pravasi Bharathiya Divas International Conference at Chennai, India 7th – 9th January 2009).
Mr. Prime Minister only you can make this genuine change for our country’s future. Only you can make this difference. So please help us Mr. Prime Minister.
Kindly revert to us accordingly.
Thank you.
Your faithfully,
